All of the control buildings and housing still stand and are all in play, as are the support buildings. In addition there are plenty of improvements that have been added by the new owners.

The game will begin at noon Saturday and continue until 2pm Sunday. Come out and join us for some of the most intense play available in the area with genuine room-to-room CQB, plenty of wooded play, and an entire weekend of fun!

The date is January 1972. The US Army is preparing to shut down the last few Nike Missile sites.

However, as papers are being signed and material inventoried five special operators from the Soviet Union’s Spetsnaz GRU are landing on a beach in Florida, having originated their voyage in Cuba. They have a bag full of US currency, some small arms, and map coordinates. At the same time other five-man teams of Spetsnaz are landing on other beaches, arriving on commercial flights, and crossing borders; all converging on the same geographic location. All have been provided with false identities and “sanitized” of anything that could connect them to the USSR.

Teams have instructions to travel to prescribed locations. Two teams will link up and verify that they have not been compromised. Once they are assured of their mutual security they are provided a new location to which they will travel to meet another two teams. This will continue until the entire unit is assembled on US soil. Until then none of them is told what the actual target, or mission, is. This is done to protect the security of the mission and deniability for the USSR.

Jump ahead two months and the entire Spetsnaz unit has converged on Nike Missile Site C47 in Northwest Indiana. The plan is an ambitious one; the Spetsnaz operators will seize control of the site and begin targeting US air traffic, both civilian and military. With the US military distracted with this crisis they hope to sneak in five TU-95 bombers armed with multiple missiles armed with nuclear warheads in an effort to strike as many major targets as they can before, ultimately, being brought down.

Why now? You might call this the Soviet Union’s “Hail Mary” play. It Is becoming more and more apparent to the staunch conservatives in the Soviet government and military that the US can simply afford to build more weapons than the Soviet Union. Intelligence also indicates that the US military is less in favor of the approach taken at the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) last year in Helsinki, Finland, in 1969 and more in favor of accelerating the arms race to break-neck speeds, confident that the USSR will have to simply give up because they won’t be able to keep up with the spending of the US.

So the only other choice is to strike now while the sides are as well-matched as they are likely to get. Their theory is “better to take our chances now than assure defeat later.”

That means this is all or nothing…winner take all. There are really only two probable outcomes; Either the Soviet Union will catch America off-guard and deal her a crippling blow, leaving only the task of marching in and cleaning up, or the plan will be less effective than predicted and the US will decimate the Soviet Union.

And that brings us to zero hour. Spetsnaz are creeping in the shadows outside the fence at Site C-47, and the brave US servicemen inside have no idea what’s coming. Can the soldiers manning a “secure” missile base far inside US territory possibly fend off highly-trained special operators long enough for reinforcements to arrive, or will this be the first slip in the fall of the mightiest nation in the history of the world?

Just Announced - recording artist Nicole Garza to sing National Anthem at Red Strike Scenario game! Nicole has sung with Journey, Huey Lewis, Faith Hill, and many others as well as singing the anthem for the various events including the Chicago Cubs, White Sox, Blackhwaks, and Dept of Homeland Security events.

If you played at CPX Sports Living Legends IV produced by Viper last weekend we have some great news. To make it a little easier to play both events we are going to give you $10 off your walkon registration and $10 off of your first case of paint. That's a ten dollar savings if you pre registered and a twenty dollar savings if you walk on!

All you have to do is bring your Living Legends badge with you to the game. We have had a number of players express and interest in coming, but they stated that they had been to LL4 and couldn't afford both events. We're hoping this will help you to be able to attend our event at this unique and historic venue.
